Company
Built by people who fly hardware.
ORBITAL was founded in 2019 by a mission director and an optics engineer who believed a daily picture of Earth should be as ordinary as a weather forecast.
Space is a means
Nobody buys satellites — they buy certainty about the ground. The hardware exists to serve the answer.
Leave orbit clean
Every satellite carries propulsion for end-of-life deorbit. We've retired four spacecraft; all four burned up on schedule.
